I usually like to get people in because I don't have a band or anything. In cities where I have friends, I try to get them to come out and dance for me.

I think you can hear, when you listen to someone's music, whether or not they're enjoying making it - it's so great to hear music where you can tell the person making it was just having a blast. That's really important to me as far as my process goes. That's probably why my music ends up being so poppy!

You rarely find someone who sings really well and who produces really well; it's a problem, and I just think it's a missing link in the music scene.

I love a lot of very sentimental music, but I shouldn't necessarily be the person who makes it.

I don't think I know anyone who has a steady job in Montreal.

My manager lives on my block; four of the apartments in my apartment complex of seven are people I know. It's a really close-knit community, and almost everyone on these few blocks are artists or graphic designers, because we live right on the cusp of a warehouse district.

I have an intense desire to constantly make music, and I don't feel that way about anything else.
